Donovan -

"They Call Me Mellow Yellow"

An old song by Donovan that I haven't heard in at least 35 years was piped over the sound system at some joint where I was sipping a Tom Collins. Well, one thing led to another and up pops this delightfully buttery image that sends me back to one of his even bigger hits, Mellow Yellow. One bit of music trivia regarding that song, you can read the lyrics here, is the fact the whispering gent in each chorus is none other than Sir Paul. If you follow the link and read along, Paul McCartney's part (in parentheses) reads quite rightly - hmm, I always thought he was saying quite right, slick. I'm sure that some Beatles or Donovan expert will verify the truth of one, the other or neither.
